A Novel Military Machine.

People in many London thoroughfares
have been considerably astonished by the

riders, who sat all in n row like the crew

the rapid transport of infantry from one
point 10 another. When fully manned il
carries twelve men who can take with
them if ordered light baggage cart or

mounting men thus in single-flc in.
stead of two or four abreast are. first
of all, that the machine Is more manage

been easily accomplished. 1t is said to be

it passes over newly metacd bits of road

Crossing the Connecticut at Albany.

If I were boy again, and knew
what know now. l would not be quite
so positive in my opinions as | used to
be. Boys generally think that they are
very certain about many things. A
boy of fifteen is great deal more sure
of what he thinks he knows than is a
man of fifty. You ask the boy ques-
ton and he will answer right off, up
and down; he knows all about it. Ask
a man of large experience and ripe wis
dom the same question, and he will
say, ''Well, there is much to be said
about it. ! am inclined, on the whole,
to think SO and so, but other intelli-
gent men think otherwise.
When | was eight years old / travel
ed from Central Massachusetts to West
ern New York, crossing the river at
Albany, and going by canal from
Schenectady to Syracuse. On the can
al-boat a kindly gentleman was talking
to me one day, and l mentioned the
fact that had crossed the Connecticut
River at Albany. How / got in my
head that it was the Connecticut River
l do not know, for l knew my geog-
raphy very well then; but in some un-
accountable way had it fixed in my
mind that the river at Albany was the
Connecticut, and | called it so.
why" said the gentleman, ''that is
the Hudson River"
"Oh, no. sirr' replied, politely, but
firmly. you're mistaken That is
the Connecticut River"
The gentleman smiled and said no
more. | was not much in the habit,
think, of contradicting my elders; but
in this matter | was perfectly sure that
/ was right, and so / thought it my
duty to correct the gentleman's geog-
raphy. | felt rather sorry for him that
he should be so ignorant One day,
after | reached home, l was looking
over my route on the map, and 10!
there was Albany standing on the Hud-
son River, hundred miles from the
Connecticut. Then did not feel half
SO sorry for the gentleman's ignorance
as | did for my own. | never told any
body that story till / wrote it down on
these pages the other day; but | have
thought of it Il thousand times, and al
ways with a blush for nay boldness. Nor
was it the only time that was perfectly
sure of things that really were not so.
1t is hard for IA boy to learn that he
may be mistaken; but; unless he is a
fool, lie learns 1t after while. The
sooner he finds it out, the better for
him. Washington Giddden IN So. Mich

Won by a Pertinent story.

A few days ago, writes a corresponds
ent of the New York World, Congress-
man Allen, of Mississippi, who is moth
ing if not humorist, called upon the
president and asked for the appoint
ment of friend to succeed Republic
can who had been in Office many years.
The congressman said to the president
that he had told the people when
making the canvass in 1881 that IL
Democrat was elected president tho
Republicans would all be turned out,
and he now asked that something be
done to enable him TO carry out his
pledges. The president was not iu-
clined to be at all communicative. He
was anxious to change the subject and
talk about civil-serviee reform After
about half an hours conversation Mr..
Allen grew somewhat tired of the situa-
ton, and turning to Mr.. Cleveland in
a good-nqtured way said:
MIR. President, this reminds me of
story which once happened in my
state. There was Il wealthy planter
who, after accommodating good-sized
fortune, died quite suddenly He had
a number of children, who, of course,
expected to come into possession of the
estate They had looked forward with
some pleasure 10 when the courts would
set aside to each heir his respective
share. 1t was the old story of the set
tlement of estates The will was con-
tested. Several trips to town and two
or three trials before the probate court
about exhausted the patience of the
heirs. The prospect OF receiving their
share of the estate within reasonable
time was fast fading into the dim and
misty distance.
"Onc day one of the sons was met
on the highway when returning from
court by Il neighboring planter who
had been tho friend of the deceased
father. He asked the son.how he was
coming on with his case. .Tlie case
was continued again to-day he re-
Piled. This is the ninth time nave
gone to the court with the hope of get
ting The matter settiad, but it seems /
can do nothing. IL has caused me n
great deal of trouble and expense, and
when / think Of it seriously | often
wish the old man had never died.
The president saw the point, and Al
lens man was appointed the hext day.

HuxIey's Views of spirituaIism.

Unless and until anybody will re-
solve all these doubts and difficulties
for me, | think | have right to hold
aloof from materialism. As to spirit
ualism, it lands me in even greater
difficulties when | want to get change
for its notes-of-hand in the solid coin
of reality. For the assumed substan-
tial entity. spirit, which is supposed to
underlie the phenomena of conscious
ness, as matter underlies those of
physical nature, leaves not even
geometrical ghost when these phenom-
,ua are distracted. And, even if we
suppose the existence of such an entity
apart from qualities-that is to say
bare existence-for mind, how does
anybody know that it differs from that
other entity, apart from qualities,
which is the supposed substratum of
matter? Spiritualism is, after all, little
better than materialism turned upside
down. And if / try to think of the
''spirit' which man, by this hypoth-
csis, carries about under his hat, as
something devoid of relation TO space,
and as something indiyisible even in
thought, while it is, at the same time,
supposed to be in that place and to be
possessed of half dozen different IA
culties, confess get quite lost.
As / have said elsewhere, if / were
forced to choose between materialism
and idealism, / should elect for the
latter; and / certainly would have
nothing to do with the effete mytholo-
gy of spiritualism. But | am not
aware that / am under any compul-
sion to choose either the one or the
other. have always entertained a
strong suspicion that the sage who
maintained that man is the measure of
the universe was sadly in the wrong,
and age and experience have not
weakened that conviction. In follow
ii@ these lines of speculation | am re-
minded of the quarterback walks of
my youth. In taking that form of
exercise. you may perambulate through
all points of the compass with perfect

tain limits: forget tlsose- Limits, in

tonight, and the jury, after being

eleven days. Voolfolk stood the
verdict without fiiEchipg. When
asked If he had anything TO say,
Voolfolk rose calmly and said that
he had been tried by twelve hon
est, competent and intelligent men.
He felt satisfied. They had done
their duty, but the prejudice had
been so strong in the ncighborhood
where the tragedy occurred that
men were witnesses who had lied
about him, though they were hon
est and intelligent mon. lie said
that the court had treated Kim well.
but court and jury had followed
the witnesses. lie then held up his
hand, and in the most solemn man
e again protested his innocence.
The court then sentenced him to
death OF February 10th, the hang
ing to be done In private.
